Bright, fruit-forward and wonderfully complex, this exceptional peaberry comes from approximately 500 smallholder producers who deliver their coffee cherries to the Gura Factory in Kenya’s renowned Nyeri County.
The coffee is grown between 1,700 and 1,890 meters in mineral-rich volcanic soil. It brings together some of Kenya’s most respected coffee varieties: SL28, SL34, Ruiru 11 and Batian.
In the cup, juicy blackberry and kiwi develop into ripe mango sweetness, followed by refreshing mint and a clean, white-wine-like brightness.
At the Gura Factory, freshly harvested coffee cherries are carefully fermented, washed, soaked and sorted by density before being slowly dried on raised beds for two to three weeks. This meticulous process creates the clarity, vibrant acidity and layered fruit character that make high-elevation Kenyan coffees so distinctive.
Peaberries form when a coffee cherry develops one small, rounded seed instead of the usual two flat-sided seeds. They are separated during sorting and prized for their concentrated, lively cup profile.
This is a memorable Coffee of the Month for customers who enjoy bright, expressive and fruit-forward specialty coffee.
